|
One of the most common questions I answer is “What exactly does the P3ProSwing do?” P3ProSwing is a golf swing analyzer and a golf simulator… but what do all of those numbers down the side of the screen tell you? This is a series of posts where I’ll be detailing each aspect of the P3ProSwing software, and explaining what the numbers tell you about your golf swing – essentially, you’ll be learning how to read your swing statistics. How do you use P3ProSwing software data to work toward toward your perfect swing? Here’s how: |

What’s Swing Path Got To Do With It?
Swing path refers to the direction your club is going while traveling through the impact zone. On the P3ProSwing, the impact zone is the 5 inches before the ball, all the way through ball impact and on to 6 inches after the ball.
P3ProSwing has 65 optical elements, and the purpose of the optics is to measure the exact position of your club head as is it moves through the impact zone.
If your swing path is not in a
Inside Out Swing Path
straight line to the intended direction of flight at impact your swing path is either:
• Inside/Out – the path is from the inside and moves to the outside
• Outside/In – the path is from the outside and moves to the inside
Outside In Swing Path
The graphic above shows an outside/in swing path of 3 degrees. This means that the club entered the impact zone three degrees above Square (starting further away from the golfer), and came through the impact zone three degrees below Square (toward the golfer). Since you’re cutting across the ball, an outside/in swing path will cause the ball to veer left.
To get a good, consistent golf swing you need to be hitting the ball with a Square in/out swing path every time.
Swing it Square!

Why is In/Out Swing Path given in degrees? So you know how HOT your swing is. ;)

i bought a proswing a few weeks ago to keep my swing grooved over the winter and i can already see a difference in my swing. My pro tells me constantly that my path is too far in to out, but i couldnt really see it my self. with the proswing, it actually tells me how many degrees in to out my path was. and I can video my swing too and actually see why my swing path was so far off. I would highly recommend this product!!

I used a simulator all season long when I couldn’t get out to the links to keep my swing fresh. This is the first season i have used a simulator and I had one of the best golf seasons I can remember.

an outside-to-inside path will not “cause the ball to veer left”, the ball will create a slice spin! and reduce distance.
